Wilson

At Wilson padel, it all starts with one name: Bela. Fernando Belasteguín, world number one for sixteen years, worked with the American brand to create a range of rackets that has become a cult favourite. Alongside it are Momo González’s Defy range, Premier Padel balls, Pro Overgrip overgrips and shoes designed for synthetic turf.

Bela, Defy or Carbon Force: where should you start?

Start with how you play, not the name on the racket. Looking for a versatile racket that can attack without sacrificing defence? The teardrop-shaped Bela range was designed for that style of play. Is power on the smash your top priority? Take a look at the diamond-shaped Defy range.

Do you play once or twice a week and mainly want to improve? A more forgiving racket will help you progress faster. The Carbon Force LT, rated intermediate, offers a gentle introduction to carbon thanks to its low-density foam. Among the Wilson padel rackets, select the beginner or intermediate level filter, then round shape: you’ll be left with only the models that are easy to handle.

Pro or LS: what difference does the version make?

At Wilson, the same range often comes in Pro and LS versions. The Pro version is more demanding: heavier and stiffer, it rewards clean technique. The LS version makes the racket lighter and softens its feel, for players who want the character of the range without the fatigue.

The Bela is a good example. The Bela Pro V3 weighs 360 to 375 g and has a 24K carbon frame. The Bela LS V3 comes in at 355 to 370 g and uses a Comfort Flex frame combining fibreglass and carbon. A few grams lighter, with a noticeably softer feel on impact.

Why do so many players stick with a Wilson overgrip?

Because the Pro Overgrip grips your hand without feeling greasy, even after an hour of play. Many players first tried it in tennis and have never looked back. Comfort for cushioning, Sensation to keep the handle slim, Perforated for hot summers: there’s a version for everyone in our overgrips section.

Expert tip: if you switch from a Pro version to an LS version, keep the same overgrip. That way, you can feel the real difference in weight and touch without confusing it with a change in grip.

FAQ

What’s the difference between the Wilson Bela Pro and Bela LS?

The Bela LS is the lighter, more flexible version of the Bela Pro. The Pro V3 weighs 360 to 375 g and has a 24K carbon frame, designed for an expert player who hits hard. The LS V3 comes in at 355 to 370 g and uses a frame combining fibreglass and carbon. It retains the range’s teardrop shape while offering greater comfort for the arm.

Which professional players use Wilson?

Fernando Belasteguín has long been Wilson’s padel ambassador, with the Bela range bearing his nickname. Javi Garrido represents the Defy range, and Momo González is also among the players associated with the brand. Their rackets are available to the public, often in several versions to suit different weights and playing levels.

Are Wilson Premier Padel balls fast?

Wilson Premier Padel balls come in a standard version and a Speed version with a livelier bounce. The standard version suits most matches. Speed is for players who like a fast game or play in a cold indoor court, where balls slow down. For training, Padel Rush 100 balls remain more economical.

How can you tell when it’s time to change your Wilson overgrip?

Change your Wilson overgrip as soon as it becomes smooth or shiny, or tears at the edge of the handle. At that point, it no longer gives your hand enough grip, so you squeeze harder and tire your forearm. A regular player often replaces it every two to four sessions, sooner in summer.

Is Wilson a good brand for padel beginners?

Yes, provided you choose the right model in the range. Avoid the Pro versions, designed for experienced players, and opt for a round racket with soft foam. Wilson accessories, such as overgrips and covers, suit all levels. Filter the collection by playing level to save time.
